He did it in the opener against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postingandtoasting.com\/\">New York Knicks<\/a> and had Holiday pick up Julius Randle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"S2IdDC\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Celtics dispatched Jrue Holiday as primary defender on Julius Randle in last night\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n<p>Randle when Holiday was the primary defender, per NBA tracking data:<\/p>\n<p>2 PTS<br \/>1-10 FG<br \/>2 BLK<\/p>\n<p>Knicks were 4-23 FG with Holiday as defender. (10-48 FG vs Holiday and Porzingis) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nhSN2Jx6Lg\">pic.twitter.com\/nhSN2Jx6Lg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chris Forsberg (@ChrisForsberg_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisForsberg_\/status\/1717527826759315844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 26, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"62HPEJ\">Tonight, the All-Defensive level guard had the assignment of defending Karl-Anthony Towns and made the former No. 1 overall pick look extremely uncomfortable. Towns made his way to Minnesota\u2019s bench about halfway through the first quarter, after he turned the ball over for the third time.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2qcZSS\">It\u2019s almost like Mazzulla plots against any overrated big guy who lines up against the Cs and sends Holiday out there to expose them. It works like a charm as the larger players tend to look to take advantage of a \u201cmismatch\u201d against the smaller Celtics guard, failing as they try and do too much.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"veZjvG\"><strong>Jaylen Brown can still do super-cool dunks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"ZdzWd2\">Yeah, so Jaylen Brown absolutely murdered Rudy Gobert.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tYN8aZ\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JAYLEN BROWN POSTER  <\/p>\n<p>Celtics-Timberwolves | Live on the NBA App<br \/> : <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1wqRX7Uwkw\">https:\/\/t.co\/1wqRX7Uwkw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZboC9MPqgc\">pic.twitter.com\/ZboC9MPqgc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1721698888963223741?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 7, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"adaPUv\">He also had himself a pretty solid start to this one. He poured in nine quick points in the first quarter, knocking down four of his six attempts in the period.<\/p>\n<p id=\"738IPz\">Brown followed that up with a five-point second quarter to bring his first-half total to 14.<\/p>\n<p id=\"piFA4P\">Not to mention that he nearly put Gobert on the wrong end of another highlight play when he dropped him with a snatch-back, but failed to drill the jumper.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"TUgPPO\"><strong>The Celtics are human<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"sozrPG\">This first half has probably been the most mortal that this hoss of a Celtics team has looked so far this season. Of course, there was the game against the Miami Heat, where they were reeling for a bit. But, their low shooting percentages and eight turnovers have me feeling less than great tonight. Minnesota\u2019s top-ranked defense has held the Cs to just 39.6\/26.3 splits for the first half.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6zArKF\">There hasn\u2019t been too much to be excited about besides the play of Brown and Jayson Tatum, who have combined to score 27 of Boston\u2019s 55 points so far.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"qx9QNc\"><strong>Anthony Edwards is for real<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"QOnp3B\">The Timberwolves have scored 52 points so far and Anthony Edwards has 19 of them. He\u2019s been a man on a mission all night and has kept Minnesota close in this one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CHKa77\">It felt like every shot that he took found the bottom of the net, regardless of how difficult it was. Boston really wasn\u2019t able to find much of an answer for Edwards, no matter who was tasked with the job of slowing him down.<\/p>\n<p id=\"xsOHYb\"><em><strong>What\u2019d you think so far?
